Day 53

Today I went to camp Farley. It was fun. I did archery. I good at it. I have a friend who has done it a lot and I am just as good as him and this is my first time. I also went swimming. One of my favorite things that I did was fort building. I teamed up with Jake and we passed all the tests (but so did everyone). Ours was the biggest. People kept taking our sticks so we barely had enough.

Day 52


Today we invited Jack and his dad out on the boat with us. Jack's dad caught a black bass. If it was one inch bigger we could of kept it. We also went tubing. I went off the wake. Then when I got close to the wake I would hang 10. It was fun. We also went to Basset's island. Dad caught a huge blue crab. The body was about nine inches. On the way home it was bumpy. Jack told my dad to go fast. We got to at least 30 miles per hour. Our boat can get up to 40 mile per hour. When we got back Mom took Esther, Jack, and I home. Jack's dad and my dad stayed to clean up the boat.

Day 51

Today I went to the beach. The beach we went to was called Old Silver. It is usually full by 10, we got there at 9 and we were the only ones there. We went swimming for two and a half hours. Then I had my friend Jarrett over. We had fun. Our neighbor Jack invited us over to swim while Jarrett was here. Jarrett and I played on there Heineken rubber raft. Jack and Esther tried to get it from us. Then Jarrett and Jack and I had a jumping contest. I won on most original. I jumped off the dock then pushed off the rubber raft into the water.

My 100th post!!

I have written 100 posts so far!! I showed Keighl my gecko today. Yes! I beat him at basketball again. We went to Petco. We got some more crickets for Spot. We also took Esther to her art class. She has a lot of fun and I have time away from Esther. Next week we are going to Camp Farley. I hope I am doing archery. I have always wanted to do archery. I have watched it in the Olympics. I also want to do outdoor living. I like watching Survivor Man on TV and I want to learn how to build a shelter. My mom was just talking to her belly (how weird).

Day 49

Today I went to the beach. I went swimming. Our friend Jack was there. Esther and I had ice cream from the ice cream truck. I had the worlds sourest snow cone. It was extra sour sour apple. Esther had cherry explosion sorbet. I was really windy. The are was really cold so I stayed in the water. I played splash tag with Esther and Jack. Then we moved on to ball tag. Grandma and grandpa left today. Dad was already at work when they left though. I miss grandma and grandpa. Luckily they will be staying in Boston for the next few months:)!!

Day 48


I got my gecko!!!! I had special names picked out depending on whether it was a boy or a girl, but I found out when I got it that you can't tell the sex until they're older. So I named it Spot. I've started to bond with it, but it still won't let me pick it up. Grandma and Grandpa are here. We went to the Chart Room for dinner. I had broccoli n' cream soup and grilled cheese with tomato. The soup was really good. I saw my teachers from 3rd and 4th grade there. It was Mrs. Karson's 40th birthday. Grandpa unloaded some of my dad's old stuff and I got his old puzzle ball and his fencing mask (he is going to teach me how to fence in the winter:).

Day 47

I didn't stay the whole night at Gibson's house:(. They weren't going to go to sleep and I was tired. I did have fun at party though! I lost one of my games at the party, Gibson's Mom said they were going to clean up tomorrow and they would find it. Gibson just called and said he found it so I could come and pick it up. I asked if they went to sleep at all. He said " we went to sleep at 4:00 AM." I had been saving up for a gecko and I finally have enough money for the gecko. I'm going to clean out the fish tank and use it for my gecko. It is probably just dusty so I could probably get him tomorrow:)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
